This arrangement was mirrored at the 1 ½ hour mark. Thelaboratory experiment was led by a university-trained undergraduate teaching assistant. Studentswere told that they should try to complete at least one of the experimental exercises, but wereencouraged to attempt as many as possible. Student learning was self-regulated: trying first anddiscovering the results. The tour was led by a trained undergraduate university student tourguide.The Student Laboratory Experience: Results and Feedback from the ParticipantsOf the 15 student participants, 87% started

In this paper we describe the development aninteractive experience to teach K12 students about prosthetics, medical devices, and soft roboticsby controlling a laboratory-based physical robotic hand via webcam that is reliable in a variety ofcontexts. To evaluate this curriculum, we also present results of a mixed methods approach tocollect quantitative and qualitative data on the tool and students’ perceptions of engineering as aresult of using the tool. Previous research has shown that new materials in soft robots may fosterrobotics interest for a diverse population of students and expand students’ ideas about whatrobots do and how engineering can be used in human

Session contents are determined by the instructorsbased on what they determine is most effective to introduce their topics and disciplines. Sessionsnormally include lecture presentations followed by activities that teach the concepts throughdemonstration or experiment that the students perform themselves. The session descriptionsbelow are reflections of the 2023 workshop. A particularly important component of the programthat makes this possible is the inclusion of teaching assistants that are current undergraduatestudents.

In both the summer and during the following academic year, theCOP provided support in the implementation of the curricular modules in the middle and highschool classrooms to continue improving skills in the teaching of renewable resources and datascience. In multiple studies, this COP has been found to be key in teachers adopting newpedagogical practices [5-7].Research Experience and FindingsAs mentioned earlier, out of the 5 summer research projects, this paper specifically discusses thecurricular modules developed from the summer research experiences on solar energy.

,facilitating effective teaching and learning, rural schools still face numerous challenges.Despite a relatively high level of student engagement in the learning process at the elementary level inrural areas, there is a substantial exodus of students from the rural education system at the high schoollevel. Sheer numbers and stark contrasts to the educational opportunities available in urban highschools mark this departure.One possible factor contributing to students leaving these schools is the shortage of qualified subject-specific teachers capable of delivering high school-level content in a way that resonates with students.Research on this issue suggests that there are several factors responsible for the challenges faced by therural education system
